Had about a 3% reduction in flying system wide at RAH between March and April. F9 had the biggest (go figure) with DAL and UAL following up behind that. CAL stayed the same.

I thought so! Hell, I could probably sit at home for the entire month of April if I wanted to.

Ahhhhh........................the first flamer! I was wondering who the first immature poster would be, nice (not really) to see one of you finally show up.

It looks like there's fewer lines projected for April than March. You think United is reducing our flying for fuel prices? I expected there to be MORE flying. Maybe it's because Spring Break is in March this year....

Or maybe I should just shut up and fly.
If you want someone to blame, I transferred back to ORD, so maybe I knocked you down the list one.

I think this is the first time I've liked the concept of seniority.

I knew we had a lot of reserve staffing when my wife asked if I could get easter off... after the bid had closed (big religous holiday, SLC domicile). I figured I'd humor her and look on sked+ before I laughed... To my amazement, there were no red arrows I dropped the whole weekend Actually it has me a bit concerned...

No kidding! I am gonna be very senior on the reserve list in ORD. I am soooo tempted to sit at home as well.

Can anyone chime in on the targeted lines for EMB FO @ FAT? I'm on the RJ side and there was a big reduction (relatively to FAT). Just wondering how the EMB side of things is holding in all this.
